Set in the heart of one of London’s most desirable neighborhoods, The Kensington occupies a prime location on the corner of two of London’s iconic thoroughfares, Queen’s Gate and Old Brompton Road.

The hotel’s grand stucco façade is characteristic of this affluent 19th Century district, which is home to cultural treasures like the Natural History Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Royal Albert Hall, with the green spaces of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park and world-famous stores such as Harrods and Harvey Nichols only a short walk away.

With open fires found in nearly all the hotel’s ground-floor reception rooms, entering The
Kensington feels like walking through the doors of a lovingly restored London mansion. The high ceilings and heritage décor evoke a sense of Victorian grandeur. At the same time, the hotel’s famously warm and engaging service creates a relaxed ambiance reminiscent of an exclusive private members club.

The luxurious Kensington Hotel is situated in the heart of South Kensington and within a 20-minute stroll of Harrods, Harvey Nichols, and The Royal Albert Hall. The Natural History Museum and The V&A are just 5 minutes on foot. A state-of-the-art fitness room is provided for the exclusive use of the hotel’s guests.

Free WiFi, luxury bed linen, and a large flat-screen TV are included in each room at The Kensington Hotel, as well as an en suite bathroom.

The Town House Bar & Restaurant has a magnificent lounge area with period drawing rooms. Its setting offers a blend of traditional and contemporary features and is an ideal location for afternoon tea, lunch, or evening dinners.

South Kensington tube station is only 450 meters away and offers direct access to the heart of the West End & Heathrow Airport.
